Advanced Defence Training Instructor (ADTI)
Course Overview
Building skills for future military readiness takes creativity and effectiveness in the classroom, wherever that may be. All trainers and instructors need to continually develop and update their skills to work with the learners of today. Reduced attention spans, diverse learning needs and a need for motivation and encouragement, means that traditional military lessons are less effective than before.
Our Advanced Defence Training Instructor course is designed to build on current abilities, with proven techniques for the modern military teaching environment, boost information retention and increase engagement and motivation.
With our help, your instructors will:
- Increase engagement and participation
- Meet the needs of different student types
- Innovate their delivery methods to boost attention spans
- Deliver effective feedback that encourages and motivates
- Become the instructor that everyone remembers.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Working effectively with the learners of today requires a new approach to training. Military instructors need additional tools and techniques to maintain attention, engage learners with different learning needs and maintain their motivation.
Each course is designed to address the needs of the instructors, the training and the mix of students they will be working with. The course culminates in an assessed session, either in the form of a ‘micro-teach’ (small portion of a larger lesson) that incorporates the techniques taught, or by preparing and defending a lesson plan for a 45-min session.
An holistic assessment approach is taken throughout the course and homework is issued after most sessions. A report on the performance of individual participants (with a rating per participant) is provided after the programme is complete.
Core modules include:
- Applying key learning theories in the modern classroom
- Teacher-centred vs learner-centred training
- Designing and timing a lesson
- Prior knowledge of the student
- Effective tasks in the classroom
- A range of learner-centred training techniques
- Giving motivational feedback
